Nellai Cancer Hospital
A social initiative of Udhavum Ullangal Public Charitable Trust, poised to transform the landscape of cancer care in Tamil Nadu.
We are 24yr old charitable trust, in Chennai, working in the areas of cancer care, women empowerment and education. We channel the goodwill of communities and bring hope to people in need.
Since 2011 our Nellai Cancer Care Centre in Tirunelveli has been offering comprehensive cancer care services to underprivileged people. We have so far raised awareness for over 200k+ people, screened more than 60k+ individuals, conducted over 2800 cancer camps, treated over 1500 patients, and currently provide home-based mobile palliative care services to over 300 patients. All our initiatives align with the WHO framework for cancer care and SDG Goal 3 for health and wellbeing.
We are now working towards establishing our very own cancer speciality hospital to bridge the growing access-affordability gap in cancer care in Tirunelveli.
Our Nellai Cancer Hospital - a 70-bed facility - will be situated on a 5.35-acre lush landscape in Sengulam to serve 2 million across the region, spanning several districts. Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostics and inpatient care, it is poised to deliver high-quality and holistic cancer care services to patients.
The entire project is being guided by the Cancer Institute (WIA) in Adyar, Chennai and several eminent advisors across industries.
